73. Ecuador 74. Any Asterix fan will tell you that that is France. 23. Barbados 68. Zambia 13 Singapore (sing & a pore) 61. Tunisia (I think) 78. Syria
16. Porto Rico (maybe, I'm not sure) EDIT - Can't be at that's already an answer.
I would say England for 28, but we've already has UK as an answer. 76 could be one of several european countries such as Germany or Austria.
